main character energy, but from a dostoevsky novel.

— Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father

happy international woman's day... girls... its time to start killing

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

... peeling oranges this ... sharing tangerines that ... what about cutting and de-seeding pomegranates for the ones you love? the ruby stains on your fingers ... fleeting proofs of your undying devotion ...

a moment! 

Evening sketch 26/09/18.

When you communicate with me & you’re being honest & you say how you feel. How can I get mad at that?

I can only respect that.

The Birth of a Pearl, 1903.  Dir. F.S. Armitage.

yes my favorite colors are the warm orange of the windows of a house u see on a walk at night and also the deep blue of the night around it

angélique

is a French adjective meaning “angel like”. It can also be a female name, a notorious example being Michèle Mercier’s charachter in Angélique, Marquise des Anges in 1964′s historical romance. Finally it is the name of a French candied fruit as well, made with the plant angelica archangelica, commonly known as garden angelica.

When Kafka said, "I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness" and when Plath said, "I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me" we all felt that

A compilation of the best Shakespearean insults/quotes:

Villain, I have done thy mother.

Away, you three inch fool.

What, you egg?

Thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows.

Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.

Thou damned and luxurious mountain goat.

Thou art unfit for any place but Hell.

I am sick when I do look upon thee.

Thine face is not worth sunburning.

Drunkenness is his best virtue.

Enter, clown.

Thou cream-faced loon. Where got’st thou that goose look?

She is spherical, like a globe. I could find out countries in her.

Detested parasites.

Thou smell of mountain goat.

Thou deboshed fish, thou.

Beetle-headed flap-eared knave.

Thou hast not so much brain as earwax.

Out, dunghill!

Thou unnecessary letter!

Castilian King Urinal!

You are an ass.

Foot-licker.

And my favourite:

HAMLET: O fuck.

[exit Hamlet]

DIONYSUS: [doing everything wrong]

Like that?

CAPULET

You are a saucy boy.

DIONYSUS

I cant describe it. But I’ll tell you in a riddling way. Have you e’er felt a sudden lust for soup?

HERACLES

Soup! Zeus-a-mercy, yes, ten thousand times.

FOOL

[sings]

What is love?

[exit, pursued by a bear]

LADY CAPULET.

What, are you busy, ho?
